INDUSTRIAL CRANES

Over the years, Konecranes has established a track record that includes a number of industry firsts. The newest innovations are found in our groundbreaking CXT industrial crane design. CXT cranes have become the industry benchmark by offering superior safety and ergonomics; easy and effective load handling and the most favourable dimensions for space saving solutions.

Performance with dimensions To meet specific load handling capacity and factory size requirements, CXT cranes are available in single and double girder construction with profile or box girder design. Top connections and underhung main girder connections are available for different building heights and constructions. Duty classification, speeds, control methods and a wide range of available additional features are used to tailor the CXT cranes to meet exact operational and environmental application requirements.

Space saving solutionsCXT cranes have excellent hook approaches at both ends of the crane and the headroom requirement is minimal. In existing buildings, CXT cranes eliminate unused or not fully used square meters because the crane can operate closer to the walls and lift the load higher. This means new buildings can be designed with a smaller and more functional floor plan. Obviously, smaller buildings mean significant savings in initial building investment as well as long-term heating, air-conditioning and other maintenance costs.

Speed control for safe and precise liftingSpeed control of a crane plays an essential role in making material handling more safe and efficient. Konecranes DynA Family inverter controls are a standard feature for crane and trolley travelling on CXT cranes. Smooth starts and stops reduce wear and mechanical stresses on crane and building structures. Two-speed hoisting is standard on CXT cranes. DynA Family inverter controls for hoisting motions are provided for applications requiring extra care in load placement.

The ultimate in sway prevention is attained with Konecranes’ electronic anti-sway prevention system, which is integrated into the DynA Family inverter controls. It is recommended for handling of heavy, expensive and easily damaged loads. Sway prevention is also beneficial in applications where high productivity and fast cycle times must be achieved in tandem with safe and accurate load control.

Operational control – tools for productive workThe standard CXT crane electrics are delivered with a state of the art Power Chain power supply system together with a radio control or alternatively with a traditional festoon flat cable system with moveable, ergonomically designed pendant controls or with radio remote controller – also with load display.

Remote control systems provide an additional boost in productivity and increase operator’s safety as they enable the crane operator to use the safest and fastest operating and control position. Konecranes radio control range is available in both handheld and joystick transmitter models providing optimal solutions for standard one hoist and three movement crane control to demanding and complex crane applications.

The alternative control method of a CXT crane is a pushbutton, which is suspended from its own cable track allowing the operator to control the crane from any convenient position across the crane’s span.

Outstanding safety, performance and condition control systemCXT industrial cranes can be equipped with Konecranes’ unique and advanced electronic control system ControlPro, which measures, calculates, monitors and controls the performance, safety and condition of the crane. ControlPro’s overload protection and intermediate load limits that can be programmed to match application requirements increase personnel safety. In high-temperature environments and during exceptional peak usage situations an additional guarantee of performance is provided by constant temperature control and thermal protection of the hoisting motor. Data recorded by ControlPro about actual crane and hoist usage makes maintenance planning easier. Konecranes’ pendant and radio controls can be equipped with displays that constantly show the weight of the load lifted. Crane operators, production and maintenance personnel can also easily read the crane usage and condition information from the display.

profile or box girder according to load handling capacity and factory size

WIRE ROPE HOISTS

CXT wire rope hoists break the traditional mold of hoist design and represent a totally new approach within the lifting equipment industry. An innovative mechanical confi guration plus state-of-the-art speed control and motor technology have made the CXT hoist the industry benchmark. For industrial cranes, monorail applications or for upgrading existing hoisting equipment, CXT electric wire rope hoists offer the best return on your investment.

Easy load handlingThe CXT hoists offer exceptionally smooth movements and fast load positioning. Inverter control for trolley travelling is standard, which minimizes load swing. CXT hoist’s innovative design involving a rope drum that is large in diameter but short in length means that horizontal travel of the hook during lowering is minimal. As a result, accurate load positioning is faster.

Exceptional performanceThe hoisting motor is a key element in determining the power and performance of the hoist. Konecranes developed new high-performance hoisting motors for its CXT line, which combine extra power with superior cooling characteristics. These entirely modern hoisting motors with 60% ED rating not only deliver increased performance for temporary peak usage situations, but also improve reliability.

Superior safety and long-lasting reliabilitySafety and reliability are built into all of the CXT hoists. Designs, materials and manufacturing methods all represent forefront technology, the result of extensive R&D, which can only be justifi ed for high-volume production. Compared to conventional designs, the lifting ropes of CXT hoists can be expected to wear for multiple lifetimes due to the large rope drum diameter and rope angles, which reduce stress and bending forces. Safety and reliability are enhanced by CXT’s excellent power transmission and braking systems. The high-performance brakes have an adjustment-free and dust-proof construction. They are designed for the lifetime of the hoists (FEM) and can brake over one million times without adjustment. Gears used in CXT are manufactured with extreme accuracy, which combined with hardened and ground gear fabrication means trouble-free operation even after years of intensive use.

Advantages for crane modernisation and factory retrofi tCompared to traditional designs, the CXT hoist with its smaller hook approach and low-headroom profi le can operate closer to walls and lift loads higher. When cranes are modernised with CXT hoists, previously unused or under-utilised areas can become productive workspace. CXT’s stepless travelling motion and precise load positioning features increase crane productivity and decrease the risk of load damage. Easy load control and reduced load swing improve safety for the modernised crane. As a replacement hoist, CXT’s compact design and lighter weight make it easier to install, and parts are always available.
